Medical Imaging Equipment Market

Market Insights

The medical imaging equipment market is expected to exhibit dynamic growth globally

The global medical imaging equipment market is increasing competently and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9%. Worldwide, increasing diagnostic procedures have significantly increased demand. Innovative product launches in the cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics industries and a high pool of patients with abundant lifestyle conditions are key factors driving the overall growth of the medical imaging equipment market globally.

Medical imaging equipment uses energy waves to produce 2-D and 3-D images of human organs. However, the new technological assessments in the field of medical imaging equipment market are trending towards the manufacturing of cost-effective, minimally invasive, portable, and precise equipment.

X-ray devices are expected to register higher growth by the end of 2027

The X-ray devices market was the largest market in the base year of 2018 due to a high adoption rate and high market penetration, and it is one of the most mature markets in medical imaging. Stationary/fixed and portable are the major types of X-ray systems; portable X-ray devices are of two types, viz., mobile and handheld, and have high adoption rates due to their usability in ICUs and emergency departments.

Patient transfer from the designated unit to the radiology unit involves high risk to the patient’s health, along with additional logistic expenses. However, to overcome this problem, the preferences of medical practitioners are rapidly shifting toward the use of portable X-ray equipment.

The CT and Nuclear Imaging Technology segment is expected to register higher growth by the end of 2027

The CT scanner and nuclear imaging equipment technologies are expected to show the highest growth among all market segments during the forecast period. The most important factor driving these technologies is their capability to diagnose a large number of diseases effectively in less time. Overall, in the coming years, various technologically advanced products, such as handheld X-ray machines and upright MRI scanners, are expected to assist the growth of the medical imaging equipment market. Thus, utilization of these advanced medical imaging technologies in various medical institutes, such as hospitals and diagnostic labs, is expected to increase over time because these technologies are expected to reduce the installation cost and also provide the convenience of use.

According to market experts, in the near future, advanced medical equipment will be minimally invasive and easy to use. The manufacturers specifically involved in medical diagnostic systems are expected to mainly develop and produce inexpensive, energy-saving, and ergonomic medical equipment that requires minimal maintenance and possesses a low potential for risk.

The aging population, the adoption of high-end equipment, and the presence of top manufacturers hold the U.S. in a dominant position

In 2018, the U.S. was the leading market due to an increase in the adoption of imaging devices with growing awareness about early diagnosis with enhanced outcomes. Increasing demand for high-end ultrasound, nuclear imaging, X-ray, and MRI devices with multiple applications in hospitals and specialty clinics will drive market growth on a global scale.

The growth of portable devices and the demand for the ever-expanding range of medical imaging equipment in Asia and the Middle East will further spur the demand. Moreover, rising medical tourism in developing nations for cheaper treatment options will drive market growth.

Increased research and development with a strong product portfolio in the developed regions

Medical imaging technologies will play a vital role in the technological development of medical diagnostics and therapeutics. The significant growth observed in developing countries is expected to increase the demand for medical imaging equipment in the near future.

The major factors assisting the growth of the medical imaging equipment market are the portability of the equipment, the digitization of readings or measurement values, the development of hybrid imaging systems, and the rising adaptation of non-ionizing imaging modalities such as optical and ultrasound systems.

North America is the largest medical imaging equipment market because, according to experts, several market players have introduced state-of-the-art handheld portable devices for medical imaging, which has greatly benefited this market. Overall, faster adoption of technological innovations compared to other regions boosts the market for innovative products in this region.
